This weblog discusses the finer points of videogame character costumes.
Philosophy and rules:
1) The ideal costume looks cool, but also has a soul.
2) Overall aesthetics of the game also come into play.
3) A great costume can make a good game great or a bad game warrant a rental.
4) Unlockable outfits must be worth the trouble of obtaining it and playing through the game multiple times.
5) Cosplay is now in the mix!

Metroid update coming

The fact that the suit Samus wears gets upgraded through the course of the game shouldn’t come as a surprise to fans familiar with Metroid, but I didn’t want to start posting the various versions of what it looks like until a few weeks post release.

It’s not that they are shockingly different than her standard suit, but I know I got a big kick out of the visual tweaks so don’t want to ruin that first impression for anyone else out there.
